Mike is a true travel obsessive, but this wasn’t always the case! He grew up in a small town in New Hampshire and only first left the country after graduating college to sing on tour through Chile, and then as part of another opera production in Austria. His life as a freelance musician warranted some deep-diving into learning how to travel for cheap. This initial budget travel progressed to the full-blown travel hacking tactics that he continues to use today… and as they say, the rest is history. Now, Mike travels full time and has visited over 100 countries.
